Analysis
I'm playing on the LA CLIPPERS. There's a real possibility that this will prove to be a preview of a first round playoff series. Either way, its hardly a fair fight. The Lakers remain short-handed and the Clippers aren't going to allow them to gain any confidence. While the Lakers are still without some key players, the Clippers have slowly been getting healthier. Though he only played 15 minutes, I like that they got Beverly back last game. The Clippers are the deeper team and he adds to that depth. I also like that Leonard now has a couple games under his belt. I really like how the Clippers rallied to erase a halftime deficit and win last game. They didn't get the cover but it was the type of victory which I feel that they will build momentum from. Factoring in a 104-86 Clipper blowout the last time that these teams met, the Lakers are just 6-13 ATS (4-15 SU) as underdogs. I say the Clippers keep the pedal to the metal and pull away for another double-digit win.
